Chronology of cameras Fujifilm
The APS system was developed jointly by 5 major leaders in the photography market, including Fujifilm. The first cameras using the new cartridge appeared in catalogs in 1996. The new technology did not have a long lifespan, but numerous models were introduced.

The Fotonex models were replaced by the Nexia in 2000.
Cameras equipped with the ix function have magnetic heads. On the back of the APS film is a transparent magnetic strip on which the magnetic heads can record various information, depending on their level of sophistication. This information can include framing, date and time of the shot, a caption, etc. Some cameras have a reading head capable of reading this strip and, for example, reacting in the event of a film change during shooting (MRC Mid-Roll-Change). Upon reinserting the cartridge, the film will automatically reposition itself where it was before being removed from the camera. One of the most interesting features of this ix function is the PQI (Print Quality Improvement) system. At the time of shooting, the camera records the parameters of the shot. The printer, in the lab, will take advantage of this information to optimize the result.
__________This APS compact camera combines all the advantages of APS to position itself as a high-end option. Despite its rather ordinary aesthetic, the manufacturing and finishing are excellent.
Equipped with a 30-90 mm zoom, equivalent to 36-108 mm in 35mm format, this range is sufficient for most cases. However, it may be regrettable that the lower end of the range is not wider, and there is no true wide-angle, which would fully utilize the APS panoramic mode (P). I would like to emphasize that the APS's appeal lies in breaking free from a single negative format. There are three formats: Classic (C), which produces a negative of 17 by 23 mm, 16/9 (H) which yields 17 by 30 mm, and Panoramic (P) which results in 9.5 by 30 mm.
On this camera, switching between modes is possible at any time by moving a rear slider. The viewfinder adapts to the current format, and it has diopter correction.
The APS film comes standard with a magnetic track that records a certain number of parameters at the time of shooting (more or less effectively depending on the camera's sophistication). In this case, it is more extensively used than in common scenarios. A small side door reveals a series of small buttons. Alongside the rewind and timer buttons, there are three others:
1. The "D" button allows for programming the date.
2. The "PQ" button (there wasn't enough space for the "I") for Print Quality Improvement stores a variety of parameters that will be automatically considered by the APS printer to correct proofs.
3. The "ST" button allows for adding captions to photos.
A rare feature worth noting is a sensor that detects the presence of an obstacle (such as a finger) in front of the flash and alerts the user.
